I was wondering peoples opinion on custom made air rifles and off the shelf (mainly the FX).
I was thinking about the results from EBR and was wondering why people that make or have custom rifles or make custom rifles aren't further up in the results. I am not putting any of the custom makers down because they are very talented at what they do and do beautiful work.
1. What I was wondering has the technology gone so far that a custom person can't afford to put that much engineering into their gun?
2. Are the results from the competition just that their is so many good shooters out there using off the shelf guns that they just overwhelm the competition and the odds of 1 custom made gun beating 20 seasoned competitors with off the shelf equipment isn't going to happen?
My opinion is the amount of competitors using factory equipment overwhelms the custom made competitor. There is very little difference between a custom gun and a top of the line factory gun. The custom gun maker after he spends all his time and money on his gun doesn't have the time to practice that a person has that grabs a gun off the shelf and goes out and practice.
that's my 2 cents
